520 W. Ash Mixed Use Development
520 W. Ash
San Diego, CA 92101
ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE
520 W. Ash located right at the southern edge of Little Italy and bordering the Columbia neighborhood
presents an elegant high rise mixed use development that is unique to its site location. In this development urban
relationship is conveyed through the building’s articulated facade. A distinct architectural language was developed to
represent the major urban forces at play. The intent is to communicate the particular character of the surrounding
neighborhoods in an abstract form. This creates a meaningful urban dialogue with the building and its context. To the
north, the building relates to Little Italy, with its fine grain nature and unique personality thus creating a more pixelated
and dynamic facade. To the south reflected in its skin, a glass prism rests within a more solid form.
Starting at the building base a commercial/retail space at the corner of Ash and Columbia Streets is defined by
an inviting fully glazed corner that along Ash Street is interspersed with a series of metal panels rhythmically arranged
with metal louvers to conceal the project’s utilitarian areas. This composition of panels defines a partial street wall
along Ash Street that relates in height to the neighboring condominium property. Along Columbia Street the glass
façade is interrupted by a stark steel canopy that marks the entry to the residential lobby. This entry is also
emphasized by a tactile board formed architectural concrete wall on the opposite side. Access off Columbia Street to
above and below grade parking is denoted by the vehicular entry gates and a stair leading from the high rise to the
public right of way is enhanced with tall expanses of glass.
Sitting immediately above the ground level are three levels of above grade parking wrapped with a perforated
metal screen. The parking screen above and the ground base below overlap to create a sense of connectedness. The
screen starts at the first level of parking along the Columbia Street façade and angles up to the second level. This
movement allows the ground level commercial glass face to merge with the perforated metal screen breaking the
division of programs and fully integrating base with parking. The screen is intended to serve both as a visual filter but
also as a light shield to minimize car headlight incidence to the neighboring developments. The parking will also be
artistically articulated to have a unique expression within the urban context. A hidden message is encoded within the
articulation of the screen. Morse code was used to arrange the proposed metal screen panels spelling “five twenty
west ash” with its multiple perforated panels. As for the color finish, a natural aluminum tone will be used for the
majority of the panels but accent colors will be added to give the composition a playful look and feel.
The massing of the tower was conceived as two interlocking elements. A glass jewel box anchors the corner
of Ash and Columbia, overlooking the skyline; while the second mass relates closer to the Little Italy neighborhood.
The tower placement right at the corner of Ash and Columbia Streets plants itself all the way down to the street level at
this prominent corner. The formation of the tower mass reacts to different conditions and opportunities on site; primarily
based on views and sun orientation. As the building moves up, its floor plates shift and angle to enhance conditions on
site. The west edge of the mass is shaped to maximize views, sun orientation, views to the city and the ocean.The
tower glazing is proposed in a window wall system and the pixelated pattern will be achieved with solid panels in
smooth cement plaster. Balconies are envisioned to express a dynamic vertical neighborhood; as such balconies vary
in size and shape further reinforcing this concept. Balconies are also articulated throughout the project based on view
and/or skin articulation. Balconies on the Little Italy side are more random and dynamic while the ones on the jewel box
are more organized and stacked. Vertical circulation elements reveal their natural concrete expression at the building
core and the northern stair. Creating identity within the skyline and visual focus (lantern) at night, a sculptural lantern
composed of translucent panels is proposed to cap the north side of the building. It’s located at this point because of its
high visibility from the freeway and its position in the San Diego skyline. This enhancement articulates the top of the
building and gives it a unique character. To define the building top the crisp glass prism at the southeast corner
extends upwards housing at the roof level an indoor amenity area and creatively disguising the mechanical penthouse
at the very top level. A linear canopy initiating at the lantern and wrapping around both east and west facades also
marks the top while serving as a shading device at the amenity roof deck area.

Will pay into the Affordable housing fund;
Timeline for approval of plans were submitted to Civic San Diego in late February and is
scheduled for Board approval at the end of May;
Discussion took place on the size of the project, its applicability to Little Italy and its role as a
gateway project. At the end of the discussion, the following recommendations were made to
support the project:
a.
The ingress and egress should predominantly be on Ash, NOT Columbia as Columbia is a
much more walkable street than is Ash street. The garage entrance should be attractive with
the roll up screen appearing to be a higher level, as compared to simply a utilitarian garage
entry. LIA favored Option B showing one driveway on each street in lieu of both on Columbia.
The proposed driveway is at the very northeast end of the property.
b.
Lennar must make Columbia a desirable public setting by incorporating a 20 foot wide
public space/piazza along Columbia. 10 feet must either be given up by the building on
Columbia or popped out into the street south of the driveway on Columbia. This Piazza can be
used by the over 1,000 residential units built within 2 blocks of this development. This will be
public, not private space and Lennar can work with the Association to coordinate a branded
Piazza here. Lennar will contribute to the landscaping plan for the Piazza, including the
plantings, tables, umbrellas and seating.
c.
The huge nature of this project relative to the 3, 4 and 5 story buildings on this block
require it to provide this public space. This is what will make it attractive and incorporate its
design into Little Italy;
d.
Outdoor dining at Columbia and Ash should allow for seating within the property line
but outdoors, similar to what has been done at Po Pazzo;
e.
Street amenities, as per Civic standards, shall include a trash receptacle every 100 feet,
(4 for the project), the LED lighting, both dual acorn on Ash and single acorn on Columbia;
f.
Additional down cast lighting, similar to DOMA on Kettner, must be incorporated into
the development on the Ash Street and Columbia Street sides to enhance the pedestrian
experience at night;
g.
The screened area separating the parking levels (2, 3 and 4), from the ground floor on
Columbia, must be used as an opportunity for public art. Waves of water, swimming fish or
some other nautical art, similar to what was done at Ariel Stes, must be incorporated so
passers-by don’t simply see 200 feet of metal mesh as they walk along Columbia Street;
h.
The landscaping plan on Columbia and Ash must be worked out between Civic, Lennar
and the Association.
The Architects were very receptive to the ideas for walkability and public space enhancements
and stated they would incorporate these ideas for public space, outdoor dining, activation and
lighting into their plan.

Re: 520 W. Ash Residential/Mixed Use Project
Dear Lucy,
On April 8, 2015, our LIRA Board saw the presentation of the proposed
Residential/Mixed Use Project to be located at 520. West Ash Street.
We were all enthusiastic about the creative use of the Project’s small
footprint and several of the design features, including the handsome
exterior prism and the 24th floor roof top deck with numerous amenities.
We suggested that the deck include a number of covered areas to satisfy
the needs of those desiring protection from the sun.
We were unanimous in our concerns about the combination of below and
above grade parking which will require 2 garage entrances/exits.
None of the 3 options presented was applauded.
We would prefer to have all of the parking below grade just like Acqua
Vista, a Residential complex across the street. Yes, it is more expensive,
but we believe it is aesthetically worth it. No matter how nice the proposed
screening is, it significantly detracts from the overall design of the building.
Best regards,
Anne MacMillan Eichman, LIRA President
